Ōrākei residents are being asked to give feedback to Auckland Council on its plans to manage risk from coastal hazards and climate change.
The community can help shape these plans by giving feedback on what they value about their coastline, how they use these coastal areas, and what they think should be done to preserve them.
“With our beachside villages, precious wetlands and coastal inlets like Ōrākei Basin and Pourewa Creek, this consultation is extremely important for our local community,” says Ōrākei Local Board chair Scott Milne.
“I encourage you to take a look at the strategies being proposed and take this opportunity to give feedback on the future of our shorelines which are a key aspect of the natural environment in Ōrākei.”
Shoreline Adaptation Plans (SAPs) are documents that cover the ways that Auckland Council manages its coastal land and assets including reserves, coastal defence structures and public facilities over the next 100 years.
The areas covered by the strategy for Ōrākei to Karaka Bay include Ōrākei Basin, Pourewa Creek, and all the bays and beaches from Judges Bay in Parnell to Karaka Bay Beach in Glendowie.
There are 20 SAPs across Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland being developed in partnership with mana whenua and guidance from infrastructure providers, technical experts and coastal communities.
The Draft Adaptation Strategy Report for Ōrākei to Karaka Bay consultation is open now until 18 December 2024.
